Snow Day!

By -
We could hear our neighbors outside having a fun time sledding on the hill and playing in the snow, so we had to go out a little.  Since SG has a cold and we didn't want her outside for long, Aaron went out and built a snowman for her.  It was really cold outside, so we all bundled up.   Everyone except for Lucy that is, she wears her fur coat all year long!  SG wore a hat, her heavy coat, a fleece outfit, and mittens.   
Lucy was very curious to see what those people were doing out on her street.  She wasn't all that sure about the snow.  Her paws sank in it and I think she felt unsteady.

The neighbors were having a great time on their "sleds"!  Next year we hope to have snow when SG is a little bigger and hopefully healthy.


We watched the kids fly by our house.

SG was not at all sure about the snow.  I thought she could stand in it, but she was so  bundled up that she just sort of fell over when I put her down.  I tried reminding her that she knows how to sit up, but she just sort of fell back.  Maybe her head felt too heavy with the fun hat and the hood of her jacket up!
Aaron built her snowman and we decided we would call him peaches.  After all, SG loves peaches and she lives in the peach state.

After a lot of trying, I coaxed a little smile from her!

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
